For all who have this wireless card, there is a new Hardware Access
Layer in development that has AR5007 support.  It has been tested and
proven successful on numerous 64-bit systems.  Go to
http://madwifi.org/ticket/1679 and read the comments at the bottom which
give install instructions and links to download.

ENJOY!!!!
